Must a woman marry?

In summary, marriage becomes obligatory if one fears falling into zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and this is the view of the majority of jurists. As for the woman, marriage is mustahabb (recommended) for her if she is in need of it due to her longing, or for maintenance, or fearing immorality. A woman fulfills this obligation by not refusing marriage if a suitable suitor proposes to her. Marriage is legislated by the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus, and it has many benefits, including safeguarding one's religion, protecting women, procreating, and increasing the Muslim community.
